Synopsis

This film chronicles the life and times of R. Crumb. Robert Crumb is the cartoonist and artist who created Keep On Truckin', Fritz the Cat, and played a major pioneering role in the development of underground comix. Through interviews with his mother, two brothers, wife, ex-wife, and ex-girlfriends, as well as selections from his extensive body of graphic art, the film offers a darkly comic journey through one man's subconscious mind.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 16

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
